Is Frequent Numbness In The Right Arm And Sore Right Shoulder A Pinched Nerve And What Kind Of Doctor Should I See?
I have gotten numbness in my right hand when I drive/ hold the phone for years. When I put my hand in my lap for awhile(let go of steering wheel for awhile) it goes away but then comes back if I grip the wheel again. For the last few months this has gotten worse and now it happens all the tine off and on. When I wake up it is bad and then usually goes away after a bit, but lately it's not going away as easily or coming back sooner. My right shoulder/deltoid has been sore as well for awhile and it's sometimes hurts to raise my arm or cross it /adduct it over my torso. Is this a pinched nerve thing? What shall I do or what kind of dr should I see? Thanks
you may be having cervical disc prolapse causing compression over the corresponding nerve root,or you may also have a periarthritis of shoulder.kindly consult a neurosurgeon
